Hi we are now using masshunter quant to process the data of gc/fid obtain by openlab cds and then using gc translator.the multiplier has already been set in the sequence table.and is there a way to obtain it from the masshunter in the batch table.so the…
Hello!! When running HPLC, I am receiving the following warning which prevents my sequences from running: "DAD method download failed for module G4212B:DEAA303287! Use Signal is not allowed to be changed during run." I am receiving this warning when I…
Hi, i want to update the Firmware of an 5975C with the Firmware Update program msupdate.exe of OpenLab to Version 7.02.29. At the moment the version is 5.02.09 and this version doesn’t support the new OpenLab. Unfortunately the update aborts at one point…
Hello,
I had my 6890 Plus GC connected to Chemstation B04.02 through a G1369B LAN card recently. Today I had a warning #103 "Sig 1 buffer full" shown in the GC display, probably because the PC went to saver mode over the past couple of days. I restarted…
Dear all,
we just recently received an upgrade from OpenLab 2.3 to 2.7. We control a Shimadzu with OpenLab. The Shimadzu GC-FID received a new set of drivers during upgrade.
We are now running into problems during calibration of our runs which were…
I'm using the GC6890 with one single column (CP7429). The gas products have to be analyzed by TCD and FID simutaneously. How should I connect the column to TCD and FID? Is it necessary to have a s plitter to split effluent from a single column to TCD…
Hello scientists, I need help
I am using an MP-AES 4200, It worked perfectly until we had a power interruption. Ever since it has kept giving errors such as
1. Plasma Failed to ignite. This may be due to a low supply of Argon or Nitrogen, a deteriorated…
